Zebrafish

期刊简介：Zebrafish is the only peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the central role of zebrafish and other aquarium species as models for the study of vertebrate development, evolution, toxicology, and human disease.Due to its prolific reproduction and the external development of the transparent embryo, the zebrafish is a prime model for genetic and developmental studies. While genetically more distant from humans, the vertebrate zebrafish nevertheless has comparable organs and tissues, such as heart, kidney, pancreas, bones, and cartilage.Zebrafish introduced the new section TechnoFish, which highlights these innovations for the general zebrafish community.TechnoFish features two types of articles:TechnoFish Previews: Important, generally useful technical advances or valuable transgenic linesTechnoFish Methods: Brief descriptions of new methods, reagents, or transgenic lines that will be of widespread use in the zebrafish communityZebrafish coverage includes:Comparative genomics and evolutionMolecular/cellular mechanisms of cell growthGenetic analysis of embryogenesis and diseaseToxicological and infectious disease modelsModels for neurological disorders and agingNew methods, tools, and experimental approachesZebrafish also includes research with other aquarium species such as medaka, Fugu, and Xiphophorus.

【译文】斑马鱼是唯一一本专注于斑马鱼及其他水族物种在脊椎动物发育、进化、毒理学和人类疾病研究中的核心作用的同行评审期刊。由于其繁殖力强且胚胎发育透明，斑马鱼是遗传和发育研究的理想模型。虽然与人类在基因上相对较远，但脊椎动物斑马鱼仍然具有类似的心脏、肾脏、胰腺、骨骼和软骨等器官和组织。斑马鱼推出了新的专栏TechnoFish，突出了这些创新对斑马鱼社区的重要性。TechnoFish包括两种类型的文章：TechnoFish预览：重要的、通常有用的技术进步或宝贵的转基因品系；TechnoFish方法：对新方法、试剂或将在斑马鱼社区广泛使用的转基因品系的简要描述。斑马鱼的报道范围包括：比较基因组学和进化；细胞生长的分子/细胞机制；胚胎发生和疾病的遗传分析；毒理学和感染性疾病模型；神经疾病和衰老的模型；新方法、工具和实验方法。斑马鱼还包括对其他水族物种如斑马鱼、鲑鱼和剑尾鱼的研究。
